Case Study: Migrato achieves a Java 8-to-C++ installer migration in three days with IBM Consulting's IBM Bob

Migrato turns a Java 8 roadblock into a 3-day migration with IBM Consulting

Migrato, a Netherlands-based software company, faced a modernization challenge when a legacy installer written in Java 8 became a blocker for upgrading its platform. The installer was critical for deploying its software suite but was dependent on a Java runtime it was designed to update. Migrato worked with IBM Consulting, using the IBM Bob product, to find a solution that would remove this dependency without disrupting their customers.

IBM Consulting, using IBM Bob, helped Migrato rebuild the installer in C++, creating a native application that no longer required a Java virtual machine. This solution preserved the original user experience while establishing an independent path for future Java upgrades. The project was completed in just three days instead of several weeks, removing a key modernization barrier and allowing Migrato's small development team to maintain full oversight of the architecture and validation.
